Ricky Morton Diagnosed With Bell’s Palsy

– On the latest episode of his School of Morton podcast, Ricky Morton revealed that he’s been diagnosed with a touch of Bell’s palsy.

“Last Tuesday, I woke up, getting ready to go to the gym. I went downstairs and had a cup of coffee. I noticed the coffee [had] run out of my mouth. It really scared me. I ran to the bathroom and [saw] that my face looked disfigured. I thought that I might, MIGHT, be having a stroke. I went to the hospital and they told me it was brought on by stress, but I have a touch of Bell’s Palsy. It looks like it’s starting to clear up a bit. I can shut my eyes and start talking. I wanted to tell the wrestling world out there; if you see me, don’t run off. I’m doing good. [Physically], I’m doing great.”

Morton remains active in the ring, having wrestled for NWA and NJPW in 2020. 411 would like to extend its best wishes to Morton during this time.
